What Went Down in “Rakshitkand”?
The “Rakshitkand” is about a terrible crash that left 8 people hurt badly. Late Thursday night, Rakshit, a young guy, drove a fast car that smashed into folks on two-wheelers near Muktanand Crossroads in Karelibaug. One woman, Hemali Patel, didn’t make it, and others are fighting to recover. It’s a sad, messy scene.
Police Step In: The Reconstruction
On Friday, cops did a reconstruction of the crash. They dragged Rakshit to the spot, his legs tied with rope, limping as they showed how it happened. CCTV footage caught the car zooming, hitting scooters, and dragging riders. Police say it’s to figure out the truth people watched, stunned.
Rakshit: The Guy in the Spotlight
Who’s Rakshit? A law student from Varanasi, studying at MS University in Vadodara. He was behind the wheel of a fancy Volkswagen owned by his buddy’s dad. After the crash, he yelled weird stuff like “another round” and “Nikita”, making folks think he was drunk. He says no, blaming potholes, but cops are testing his blood.
Crowd Goes Wild: Public Anger Explodes
When Rakshit got out of the car, people lost it. Bystanders beat him up before handing him to police. Seeing him back at the scene, tied up and limping, sparked more outrage. 8 lives crushed families are broken, and the city’s mad. Social media’s blowing up with calls for justice.
The Crash Scene: What We Know

Police Digging Deeper
Cops nabbed Rakshit right after and locked him up. His pal Pranshu Chauhan, who owns the car, ran off but got caught later. They’re checking if alcohol or drugs played a part results are pending. Vadodara Police Commissioner Narasimha Komar says teams are all over it, piecing things together.
Why People Are So Upset
This isn’t just a crash it’s 8 lives flipped upside down. Folks are asking: how’s a law student acting so wild in a dry state like Gujarat? Rakshit’s interviews, saying he’s sorry but not drunk, only made the anger grow. People want answers and punishment, fast.
